D. E Reddick provided this information as a comment on an earlier post regarding tensions between Japan and China. I thought it deserved a separate posting.
“Now a Chinese fishing trawler has rammed a South Korean Coast Guard vessel. One Chinese fisherman died, two Chinese fishermen are missing, and four SK coast guardsmen have been injured. The 63 ton Chinese trawler capsized after ramming the larger SKCG vessel. Reportedly, there were 50 Chinese trawlers fishing within SK territorial waters at the time of the incident. The video from Al Jazeera (English) demonstrates just how violently the Chinese crew were acting during the incident.

Chuck,
It turns out that it was the Chinese fishing boat’s 28-year-old captain who died at a hospital after going into a coma. That’s an almost parallel outcome (in a limited way) to that Chinese fishing boat captain who was arrested by the Japanese Coast Guard.

DER, thanks, I see one other crew member is also still missing and presumed dead.
